Abstract
Sustained feeding-fasting cycles may protect against breast cancer.
- Circadian rhythms regulate bodily functions, but they weaken with age, affecting health.
- Erratic eating patterns can disrupt metabolism and are linked to chronic diseases associated with aging.
- Maintaining a consistent feeding-fasting cycle could prevent or reverse chronic diseases in experimental models.
- Epidemiological studies indicate that irregular eating increases disease risk in humans.
- Prolonged overnight fasting is associated with a lower risk of breast cancer.
